The war of nerves between Trump and Iran raises alert in the region to a peak

The war of nerves between Trump and Iran raises alert in the region. Trump threatened, Iran responded arrogantly, and Pakistan mediates. Israeli sources estimate an American attack after the midterm elections. A major Iranian exercise and attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz increase tensions. The US is restraining itself, and Iran refrains from operating centrifuges in the mountain.

The war of nerves between US President Donald Trump and Iran has raised the alert level in the region to a peak, according to a situation analysis. Trump wrote on his social network that the US would 'finish the job' if Iran did not change its ways. In response, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote to Trump: 'Want to try your luck again? Please.' Against this backdrop, Pakistan's defense minister is expected to arrive in Tehran this week for mediation. Israeli sources have spoken in recent days not about whether the US will attack, but when, after the midterm elections on November 3. US Central Command (CENTCOM) and the IDF are on high alert. A major Iranian exercise by the Revolutionary Guards, which included firing dozens of ballistic missiles and launching unmanned aerial vehicles, contributed to the alert. Additionally, Iran has changed its policy and is attacking anchored tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, a move defined as an escalation. The US is restraining itself for now to avoid escalation before the elections. Iran is entrenched in its positions since the memorandum of understanding in April, and the US is expected to demand a tougher policy. There is no talk about the nuclear issue. Mention of the MOAB bomb in the US is seen as a message to Iran. The intelligence assessment is that Iran is refraining from operating centrifuges in the mountain, but the reason is unclear.
